Junior A Hurling Championship
Dungourney 1-18 Bride Rovers 1-7
The junior A hurlers got their quest to regain the Jamesey Kelleher cup off to a great start on Thursday night last in Ballynoe with a win against a sticky Bride Rovers side.Playing on a wet sod,Dungourney helped by a goal by Martin Wall and good points by Warren McCarthy and Sean Hegarty established a good first half lead and continued in the same vein to establish a commanding half time lead of 1-10 to0-04.The first half was exibition stuff at times as we quickly had a foothold in the game with some nicely taken scores,while also being frustrated by the Bride Rovers cul bara who brought off some brillant saves to keep the score line respectable.
The second half continued as the first half ended with Dungourney taking some good points but having a number of wides too and I am sure that this is an area that the management will have something to work on.Good points though from Eoghan Ahern(a beauty from a sideline ball) Kenneth and Martin Hennessy put the gloss on the performance and the match ended on a scoreline off Dungourney1-18 to Bride Rovers 1-07.Well done lads.
